This 1970 British horror movie is one that promises rather more than it delivers.

It was the first film which included all three of Vincent Price, Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing in its cast. Its really Price’s movie though. He plays a mad scientist, who creates ‘composites’ from body parts (and is revealed to be a composite himself). Lee only appears as an antagonist towards the end of the film, and Cushing doesn’t interact with either – he is wasted in one brief scene, before promptly being killed off.

The movie is also relatively un-gory, and the whole thing feels somewhat underwritten and casually thrown together. You probably won’t be screaming at any point!

This rather art-less poster is the French grande version. I have it for sale here.
